Authorities are investigating a three-car crash that killed one man in east Harris County Saturday afternoon.

The driver of a 2004 Black Ford F-150 was traveling east in the 15100 block of East Freeway shortly before noon, when he changed lanes suddenly, crashing into the back of a white Chevrolet Colorado, authorities said.

The Chevrolet's front right then hit the back left of a Silver Toyota Tacoma traveling in front of it.

Both the Chevrolet and the Toyota then rotated counter clockwise and came to a stop in the inside lane of the freeway, authorities said. The Ford pickup continued to travel across all the eastbound lanes before crashing into a concrete barrier, where the driver was thrown from the vehicle, killing him.

The pickup then continued to travel partially on top of the barrier before traveling over the wall and landing on the I-10 service road.
